Juventus is making a fresh push to sign Manchester United’s Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee. The Italian club’s new coach, Thiago Motta, is keen on bringing Zirkzee to Turin and sees him as a perfect fit to play alongside Dusan Vlahovic.
Amorim’s team selection suggests that he doesn’t have faith in Zirkzee’s abilities, preferring other players over him. Zirkzee’s agent is set to hold talks with Manchester United directors and Amorim to discuss the player’s future, but it seems likely that Zirkzee will be leaving the club, possibly on loan to Juventus.
Amorim’s focus is on building a team that can compete at the highest level, and if Zirkzee isn’t part of those plans, then it’s likely that he’ll be moved on. With Juventus interested in signing Zirkzee, it’s possible that Amorim sees this as an opportunity to offload a player who isn’t contributing to the team’s success
Manchester United is open to letting Zirkzee leave on loan during the winter transfer window. The Red Devils hope that a temporary move will help the 21-year-old regain his form and increase his market value.
Zirkzee has struggled to make an impact at Manchester United, scoring just four goals so far. His recent performances have been underwhelming, including a disappointing outing against Bournemouth.
While AC Milan had initially shown interest in Zirkzee, they have since cooled their pursuit due to tactical concerns and the player’s wage demands. Juventus, however, remains keen on securing the young striker’s services.
